I’ll tell you guys a little secret about the music industry: Nobody has any money! Bands don’t have money and labels don’t have money and stores don’t have money and venues don’t have money and if you get involved in this world for any reason other than love you are legit stupid.

The other night I told a venue manager “HARD NO” when they tried to take a merch cut without putting it in the advance. Best feeling. There is a place in hell for venues who take merch cuts from support acts.

My dad passed away the other day. As sad as I am, I feel a great urge to celebrate the man’s life. He was excruciatingly human, equal parts inspiration and cautionary tale. I loved him so much more than so much. Here is a short thread about my father. The guy was a fucking card.

It doesn’t matter that you quit drinking and doing drugs forever ago because if you don’t go to AA and do the steps you’re not really sober. The Higher Power thing bothered me at first too but then I learned it didn’t have to be the Christian “God.” My Higher Power is THE OCEAN
